Chapter 29: Returning Home
The whole land was still white, but the sky was blue, and there was not a single cloud. The warm golden light of the sun sprinkled on the snow, as if there was gold everywhere.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the scenery is infinite, and it is cool.
The tomb of Emperor Jianwen was finally built. Cement has not yet been poured on it, and the tombstone has not been carved, so it has not yet been erected. I also thought about this, and gave a little money to the village chief, hoping that they would finish the finishing work. They are also the descendants of Emperor Jianwen, so they should make a little contribution, right?
At this time, the three brothers Guo Hongjin, Guo Hongwen, and Guo Hongyou walked over to us with machetes in their hands and walked over to us with difficulty on knee-deep snow.
"Master, we're here to help you fight the snow monster!" Guo Hongjin walked in the front and said loudly.
Zhu'er pouted and said, "Waiting for you to help?" By the time you come, your master will already be dead! β
The three brothers of Guo Hongjin were dumbfounded and said, "What's the matter? β
Tang Jiang walked over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your master has already eliminated the snow monster." In the future, you Yuanbao Village will no longer have to be afraid of snow monsters harassing you, and you don't have to be afraid every year. This time, your master has really done a great deal of harm to your Yuanbao Village. β
Guo Hongwen said suspiciously: "What you said is true? β
Liu Chengxi also limped over and said, "Then there is a fake, you look up at the sky and look at the sun." We've been here for so many years, have you ever seen such a good sun come out these days? β
Guo Hongjin, Guo Hongwen, and Guo Hongyou looked up at the sun in the sky, and suddenly showed a look of surprise and joy, Guo Hongjin said: "It seems to be true, this is really good, it's good to grandma's house!" β
At this time, I also regained some strength, got up from the ground, returned the clothes that had been laid on the ground to Zhu'er, and said, "Now that this place is finished, we should also go back." By the way, the village chief, they're all right, right? β
Guo Hongwen said: "They are all fine. Listen, Masterβ"
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, only to hear the faint sound of cheers coming from the mouth of the valley.
Guo Hongwen explained: "Master brought a few people with him, but they didn't dare to come in outside. However, it seems that they also know that the snow monster has been eliminated by the master, and they don't know how happy they will become. Master, you are the hero of our Yuanbao Village! β
"Heroes?" I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this new title.
Coming out of the mouth of the valley, Guoxingye really waited there with a dozen people, and everyone hugged me back to the village.
The whole village gathered in the courtyard of the village chief's house, and when they saw me appear, they burst into earth-shattering cheers.
A dozen young men even ran up, lifted me up, caught it, threw it up again, caught it.
I was scared by them, for fear that none of these guys would be stable, and I, the "hero" who had only been a "hero" for an hour, would be thrown to death.
Thankfully, the fears didn't happen.
Originally, I was going to go back to my hometown after explaining to the village chief, but Guoxingye and the villagers said that they would not let us go, and the whole village mobilized together and got us a lot of delicious food. Not to mention fresh vegetables, garlic sprouts, bacon sausages, and even killed several chickens, and some even slaughtered a dog. I know that in the countryside, this kind of treatment is like entertaining a distinguished guest at the presidential level.
More than a dozen young people came to me and said that they would also worship me as a teacher, and asked me to take them out of Yuanbao Village and go outside to see them. This suddenly frightened me, and hurriedly said that I already have three apprentices now, and now I don't have the time, energy, or to recruit other apprentices like this, anyway, I am doing everything possible to excuse myself. Your sister, so many people worship me as a teacher together, so don't I want to establish a new sect? Hey, if I set up a sect, what's the name? What about the name "Knife Pie"? Hehe.
In the end, it was the village chief who came forward and persuaded those people to go down, saying that when they went to get acquainted with Guo Hongwen first, they would definitely come back to take them out. Otherwise, I don't really know what to do.
Acheuli finally found it, and it also knew how to hide people's eyes and ears, and turned into a small mosquito and stopped on my shoulder, but I didn't expect that there should be no mosquitoes at this time. But they didn't notice, and I let it go back into the ring.
It was until four o'clock in the afternoon, when I handed over 10,000 yuan to the village head, Guo Xingye, and asked him to help find someone to deal with the aftermath of Emperor Jianwen's tomb. However, when Guoxingye asked about the name of the deceased and the date of birth and death, I was in a difficult situation, and I did not think of this beforehand. I had no choice but to make it up. It's not good to call Zhu Yunwen or Emperor Jianwen directly, so let's call it Zhu Jianwen directly. Birth and death? Well...... That's just a matter of making it up. Emperor Yunwen, I am also thinking about you being able to rest in peace, I hope you don't be surprised.
When I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered one thing, last time Wang Yan came back with us to visit relatives, and now I am afraid she is still waiting for our news at home. I asked Guohong to go to Ziru Village, and asked Wang Yan if she wanted to go back to me, and if she wanted, she would go to the town with her to meet up, and go home together tomorrow.
Guo Hongjin promised to leave first. Our group also set off to leave Yuanbao Village.
It was about eight o'clock when we got to town.
The moon is bright and the wind is warm.
Almost everyone in the town was outside, smiling and pointing to the moon in the sky. I suddenly remembered an idiom called "Shu dog barking day", saying that there is a lot of fog in Sichuan, and the dogs there rarely see the sun, so when they occasionally see the sun, they will be frightened and yell. This word doesn't seem to be very friendly to those people, but in that case, it's very appropriate, hehe.
Once again, we had all the rooms in the town's two small hotels. In the past two days, everyone was not only very tired, but also frightened, and it was like escaping death, so I went to bed early.
I also slept deeply.
But when I slept until midnight, I didn't know why, I suddenly woke up inexplicably, and looked around in a panic.
I don't know why I woke up suddenly, I didn't hear anything, I didn't have any nightmares, and there was no movement around me. All I knew was that all of a sudden, my heart was filled with fear.
But where this fear comes from, I don't know.
I was covered in cold sweat and panting for air.
It was at this time that a voice came to mind in my head.
The grim and eerie voice repeated in my head, "Malian Sbrakuri! β
"Maharian Sbrakuri!"
By the way, I was awakened by this sentence!
With this voice, a huge and terrifying face came to my mind.
I remembered the terrifying giant face I saw with my own eyes on the night when I came to the town from Yuanbao Village with Guo Hongjin after learning kung fu from Xiang Wentian.
Why am I thinking of it at this time? Why was he awakened at this time? Don't......
I put on my clothes and shoes in a panic, and ran out of the small hotel until I reached the small forest leading to Yuanbao Village.
The majestic wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a slight "rustling" sound. The sickle-like moon hung in the middle of the sky, cloudless.
How similar is this scene to the time I saw that huge face?
I nervously looked at the sky where my face had last seen, and I felt that my sweat was constantly pouring out like a spring.
But I waited a long time, but I still didn't see that giant face appear.
The bamboo forest shook gently, as if to laugh at me for making a fuss.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that I'm too sensitive and overthinking?
Seriously, since I became this human judge, I've become a little suspicious.
However, I always felt that this time it was not my own suspicion, but the deepest vigilance from my heart. It's like an animal's sixth sense, which can sense danger in advance. Or to put it this way, this is an early warning from God, telling me that there is danger, telling me to be vigilant and not to take it lightly.
Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly saw a dark figure come out from behind a large rock.
I was startled, and hurriedly pulled out of the frame and asked, "Who is it?!" β
The man was stunned for a moment, stepped out of the shadows, and said, "Master, it's me." β
The moonlight shone on the man's face, delicate and cute and a little naughty, it was Zhu'er.
I'm wondering, why didn't Pearl sleep in the hotel in the middle of the night, but came here? But I heard another person behind me shouting, "Master, are you alright?" β
My scare is not trivial, that ...... That's the voice of Zhu'er!
